Lifter

Beef rib lifter (lifter meat) is the deckle-like muscle over the ribeye—often removed in boneless fabrication and sold separately for grind, stew, or slow cooking. It is flavourful and fatty, less suited to premium steak service than the eye but excellent when braised or minced. Braise, smoke low, or grind into burger blends. Trim thick hard fat if needed. A butcher’s utility cut that should not be wasted when breaking rib primals.
